How is an OS made in 2002 going to provide a UI invented in 2009?

I think UI might be provided by in form of some DLL and if we replce
(or put) that dll by newer version and tell the application to use the
newer version of dll then it might be possible??.

I'm not 100% sure, but I'd say that Windows 7 UI uses some Windows 7
specific features (or at least features introduced in Vista) not
present in Windows XP. So it's not just a DLL problem, it has to do
with the core of the OS.

Do you know what are the MFC functions/Windows OS functions/DLLs /
resources-bitmaps etc for an MFC applications to draw the controls on
the screen according to current OS theme?
